Note the dog pee in the bottom left.Today I tried to dress like a date from the 50's, thinking of Kim McAfee and Winnie Cooper (I know Wonder Years is 60's/70's, but just that whole Winnie and Kevin dynamic, ifyouknowwhatImean). Roller rink, ice cream, lovebird barettes, and how to tie a tie for your fancy date skirt.

I went on an insomniac's ebay rampage the other night, searching vigorously for girl scout patches as inspired by the hand-me-down sweater I wore last week. I had forgotten I'd bought them til they came the other day. It was very pleasing, and I concluded that I make good decisions late at night.I wish I'd also gotten the Pancake Breakfast and Random Act of Kindness ones, but my need for cheese is covered by the Girl Power in the upper right. Also, did you know there is a Girl Scout patch for basically every occasion imaginable? At a certain point I was expecting to see "The Mafia Takes Teamwork" or something, but this also could have had to do with whatever time it was.

this is seriously bugging me...every time I don't know what to wear I get inspiration from your posts! gahh! your brain is so chock full of sweet,sweet style...this came just in time, I've been dressing muted and prim all freakin' week!

wow i love your pink sweater and your shoes are just adorable!! Also I am so jealous that there is snow, beautiful white snow where you are. I have only seen the snow twice, I guess thats what you get for living in Los angeles.

How ironic, I won Agent Lover's contest by saying my Wilderness Girl's patch (obvs, I'm a d00d) would be a "El Viejo Peludo" patch which, literally means, the hairy man. hahaI made a paper patch for it but your Roller Skating patch puts it to shame.

i was just gonna compliment you on your shoes.but man.Love those patches specialy the planetarium one. great icecream tee and ohh the shoes.would love if you could check out my blog.listening to the kinks 'sunny afternoon'

You kind of remind me of some kind of parallel universe, dystopian-futur-past kind of roller girl who serves ice cream cones that make you chipper and happy, except your ice cream cones make you more of a misanthrope and deadpan like Daria, and the pee on the ground just adds to that affect.

Nice outfit :) I like this one very much .You're very lucky to have Repetto shoes, they're very expensive. I live in Paris and they have some everywhere, and I'm getting a pair soon, FINALLY :)The gold ones are a very nice choice, I want dark blue ones :)

...oh yes we dooo...we love we Conrad...haha i remember that from Bye Bye Birdie! Anyway, adorable outfit, i really love the 50s vibe. ooh I've always wanted to use my old girl scout badges for something, good idea. I don't have very many though, because i wasn't the best brownie. What the heck is daisy day? Pancake Breakfast? That is the best girl scout activity ever :)

Dear Tavi GevinsonYour blog is well the only one I read. I look at others and I find them very dull. I have been thinking for a long time about a lot of the things you talk about; the push of the underdog who I guess is the over dog but then where did that underdog go?, the need for a culture fashion magazine not one that is just pushing to what they think they should be but where people pick it up and say “Oh! This is me, I feel cozy and confident with this magazine I shall read on.” I want a magazine that makes me not feel stupid like everything is dumbed down. I love clothes because they get me going visually and mentally and that all ties into culture and art and people and it can just fly into so much and blah blah, and I just put all of that on. Amazing. I love what you’re doing. Sincerely Kathryn Chuber Dear Jane Pratt I want you to know that, when I was all black wearing, make out to screamo, write angry scribbles in my diary 15 year old, the only thing that made me truly happy was receiving Jane magazine. I still have all the issues under my bed that I read when I’m feeling sad about how shitty my magazine options are now. My only dream was to write for Jane and now I’m 19 wanting to work for my true love (Jane) and it is not there. Make another. Please.Sincerely Kathryn ChuberI have a couple ideas for the magazine and I know it’s too late but if the magazine does well it’s never too late.NamesGlutton> because it’s hungry for culture and knowledge and fashion like I would want the readers to be but that’s supposedly a sin so may be not it does sound a bit dark, in a good way?Bleach>because in my hopes and dreams you would be cleaning things up a bit and make my world a little bit more squeaky cleanGirl>simple who is it for girlsStory ideasRunaway stories that are real, and then a shoot with great runaway themed dress. Like Wal-Mart pictures with the hope that they did not actually get abducted.DIY ideaMake a mold of any body part hand foot head you could make a bust and then put wax inside and then make a candle how fun to watch your bust burn on top your piano good for sound I don’t know.

one of my favorite outfits of yours by far. and I'm in love with your girl scout patch collection! patches are wonderful. currently I have a Hard Day's Night one but I haven't found the suitable location for it yet

I think I regret joining the girl scouts solely because the brownie scout uniforms and patches. they're rather delightful really-tara
